Hepatitis C is a blood borne virus that causes damage to your liver. Hepatitis C often has no signs or symptoms, so people can be living with the virus and not even know it. The danger is that it can cause serious health complications and may lead to liver cancer.
The best way to know is to get tested, and there will be free testing clinics across North-West Tasmania.

Why should you test?
Testing is the only way to confirm your status. There are different ways people may have been exposed to the virus, such as:
- at home or unprofessional tattoos or piercings
- overseas medical procedures and tattoos
- blood transfusions before 1992
- sharing injecting equipment
If you think you may be at risk or you just want peace of mind, head in and see the friendly nurses for a test and chat.
